So sad her eyes smiling dark eyes
So sad her eyes as it began
On such a breathless night as this
Upon my brow the lightest kiss
I walked alone
And all around the air did SAY

My lady soon will stir this way
In sorrow known
The white queen walks
And the night grows pale
Stars of lovingness in her hair
Needing unheard pleading one word
So sad her eyes she cannot see

How did thee fare what have thee seen
The mother of the willow green
I called her name
And 'neath the window have I stayed
I loved the footsteps that she made
And when she came
White queen how my heart did ache
And dry my lips no words would make
So still I wait

My goddess hear my darkest fear
I speak too late
It's for evermore that I wait
Dear friends goodbye
No tears in my eyes
So sad it ends as it began
